The #selfhost fever is still high 🌡️

I want to resurrect my old tech blog, need some nice Markdown editor, heard well about Obsidian BUT don't want to pay for the monthly sub...

Result: CouchDB up and running as rootless Podman service, mobile/mac apps synching via github.com/vrtmrz/obsid... 🥰

#Forgejo v16 is out: forgejo.org/2026-07-rele...

forge.l3x.in already upgraded, process is sleak:

push change to ansible repo (private) -> start apply job -> pull/restart forgejo image/container -> done.

It works like a charm, the runner's job survives the forgejo process restart ⭐️🌈🕺

#selfhost

Had some fun with #Deno, #IRC and #Chatto today: forge.l3x.in/alex/irc-gre...

Just a very simple bot to get notified in Chatto when a new user joins our IRC channel.

Made me remind the good ol’ days 🤓
